上上个星期二,和伦敦来的WY同学吃了顿饭,自从WY回国后又返英,就没怎么联系,算起来也有两年没见了。
吃饭聊天很开心,主要的话题是我们在爱丁堡的那几个朋友。在谈话的过程中,爱丁堡的往事在我脑海里不断闪回,如果LP、LZZ和DJ也在,这样的聊天就是我们聚会最常见的形式,地点可能是在Filmhouse、中餐自助餐厅、西班牙餐厅、意大利餐厅、泰国餐厅、北非餐厅、LP的家里,或者某个安静的酒吧……
WY看上去比两年前更干练。阅历也更丰富了,伦敦毕竟是领潮流之风和多样文化混合的大都市;听WY说,LP似乎没有太大的变化;LZZ同学和我最近交流很多,在瑞典混得还不错;DJ同学拿了瑞士工作的Offer。
WY带来了一个英国朋友来,并不介意我们中文聊天。我和WY偶尔拿他开开玩笑,中英文并用,呵呵。以前没有听WY同学说英语,这次说起英语来,发现水平真高,和老外没差别了,伦敦口音学得也很像。我英语表达简单的想法还可以,复杂的还得用中文。
聊天总会谈到relationship,这是我的强项,老友记和欲望城市不是白看的,英语也说得流畅了,幽默感灵光四射,哈哈。
It’s so comfortable to talk with old friends.

Absolutely! Not only 留学生活, being abroad is struggling.

请S同学和L同学考虑国外生活的艰难。
貌似我离开很久似的,最常挂在嘴边的就是感觉中最美好的。
不是你离开太久,是我更新太慢了,呵呵。

Gibberish after calling home
After 2 years’ struggle for deciding to leave or to stay, to continue or to give up, I’ve decided to stay and to continue in Sweden for at least the nearest future. My whole body feels lighter when the decision’s taken. However, one thing is fixed, a few more things are coming for me to consider and to decide…. It is tiring to keep experiencing difficulty and to make a great effort in order to do every small little thing, but it is life I suppose, especially for the first migration generation individual like me. It is also why life is so wonderful and full of surprises. The small fruit after the great efforts is so sweet; and I am always curious, but never know what is going to happen to me next.
I’ve learnt to take care of myself, and take it easy: keep making effort but don’t expect too much from these efforts, whatever result comes out, just accept it and move on, as life always does.
I know how tough and struggling to live abroad and you are so brave to make this decison. I’m proud of and happy for you. Hope you enjoy surprise and unknown of life, and stay happy and fulfilled.
I thought you might like this song, I’ll survive, at this moment, even it’s a little sad. It seems I talked about this song to you when I was in Edinburgh.
